Paris

Im busy with other things right now but theres a couple of quick notes Id like to get out.

1) It ceases to be a riot when it goes beyond 72 hours. We call that sort of thing an "insurrection". We can now officially call it "the French Intifadah".

2) Yassir Arafat was last seen alive in Paris. Im not one to believe in spirits and ghosts and posession of souls, but this appears to be pretty big evidence of such a thing.

3)Basic Civilization 101: You are in charge as long as you act like you are in charge. Frances' government is close to a tipping point where it will no longer appear to be "in charge". Will the French Socialist Government be forced to "Martial Law"?

4)You cant stop this without attacking the very people who have been lionized by the left; therefore the French Government will pull their punches and the result is that this will not go away quickly, but will instead fester into a far worse problem. This is the Guliani " broken window" crime theory written large.

5)This will not be reported by the Western Press until Bush can be blamed for it.
